RE: Community Service Opportunity for Teen Son
Our teenage son is going on a community service trip with VISIONS Service Adventures this summer. Their programs focus on community service. They have programs abroad but also some domestic ones, which means airfare might be more affordable. Their 3-week programs in August are a bit less expensive than the 4-week ones in June. We received some financial aid from them too which helped. Francine

RE: Summer abroad recommendation for 15-year-old
I would highly recommend Visions Service Adventures for your daughter looking to spend the summer overseas practicing her language. My daughter went to Guadeloupe for a month last year with the program. The 25 teens worked about 6 hours a day, weekdays, volunteering in various capacities in a remote part of the islands. The people in the area spoke only french so the kids were forced to use thier language skills. The kids also spent time hiking, snorkeling, sailing etc in the afternoons and on weekends. My daughter had a fabulous time! The program was well organized and the kids well supervised. Visions offers programs in spanish speaking destinations as well. aappert
